The third episode of the massively mounted post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us Season 2 premiered yesterday. Maintaining the positive feedback trend in line with the first two episodes, the episode, titled ‘The Path’, has also been received well by critics and fans. The expectations were sky-high, especially after the devastating events shown in Episode 2, yet the latest episode has delivered.
The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3 Reminds Us of Season 1’s Best-Reviewed Episode
The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3 has been directed by the BAFTA-winning filmmaker Peter Hoar. Interestingly, he also went behind the camera to direct a highly admired episode of the show’s opening season. Peter Hoar directed the third episode titled ‘Long, Long Time’ of The Last of Us Season 1. And it had received highly positive feedback from critics at the time of its release. Many critics even felt that ‘Long, Long Time’ was among the greatest TV episodes in the recent past.
Peter Hoar is the only guest director from Season 1 who has directed an episode in The Last of Us Season 2 as well. And like Season 1’s ‘Long, Long Time,’ ‘The Path’ too has an emotional undercurrent, which sets it apart from the usually brutal, fast-paced, and action-packed goings-on.
